Yes, i know all those things.colors look different in different situations. One of the problems adidas addressed was how light the orange looked under artificial lighting.you all realize color is subjective right? Just because I see something as being closer to a certain color doesn't mean you do. Also, colors are affected by lighting, in my line of work we call that metamerism.
Illuminant metamerism: Illuminant metamerism is witnessed when you have a number of spectrally matched (exactly the same) samples, but when each is independently, yet simultaneously illuminated and viewed under lights whose spectral power distributions differ. You can perceive significant variations of the color.This phenomenon is rarely witnessed, unless you have a light box that allows you to see both lights separated by a divider, and your 2 identical samples illuminated by the different light sources.
Example: When you visit a lighting department of a major home improvement store they will have a bank of lights with dividers in between. Grab a number of identical sample swatches from the paint chip department and place one identical sample under each light. Stand back to winess how each illuminant affects the sample.
Observer metamerism: Every individual perceives color slightly differently. (Assuming the individuals posess adequate color matching aptitude.) This can be demonstrated in many ways, but suffice it to say, observer metamerism is the reason there were 31 individuals tested to derive the 1931 "standard observer" values adopted by the ISO and are still used as the basis for the majority of color science study today.
Geometric metamerism: Identical colors appear different when viewed at different angles, distances, light positions, etc. It can be argued that one reason men and women often perceive color differently is that the distance between woman's eyes is, on average, slightly less than a man's, and that slightly different angle of stereoscopic viewpoint also falls under the category of geometric metamerism.
Does anyone know if there are any social media sites about fashion? If so, do they spend a great deal of their time talking about football??
I love the jerseys. Addidas finally got the orange right. The changes they made look great. And the helmet decals are finally matching! Yeah,thats all i got. Let the replys saying this is a pointless thread begin.
